Huntington Woods (WWJ) -- Joe Babiasz says he's sick of the 'circus of the Senate hearings'--and he wants 49 states and the District of Columbia to boycott the state of Alabama. Why? The Huntington Woods man says he's tired of the criticism of the Big 3 by Alabama Republican Senator Richard Shelby.
Babiasz, who retired from General Motors after 34 years, told WWJ his boycott is for "any travel into the state, or the purchase of anything that's produced within the state of Alabama."
"It is to show Senator Shelby what it's like when hard-working, innocent people are not helped in the system by the government. Senator Shelby has been the most vocal critic of the Big 3," he said.
Babiasz said he's standing behind the industry that gave him a career. "We build excellent products. We are as good or better than any Japanese or European product on a price-point basis. I'm very proud of that."
"It is time for Americans to step up for our wonderful country and American products."
